Draconics

The Draconic family has a wide variation of specimens. We can count in here: Drakes, Wyvers, Wyrms, Amphipteres, Dragons and many more.

Most of them are beasts, with no intelligence nor inborn magical powers (may vary depending on different circumstances like age or high mana density of their living arena), while Dragons cause trouble with their classification, for we may separate them into stray dragons (Draconis vulgaris) and high dragons. As stray dragons are not much different from their Draconics cousins from the view point of their intelligence, the high dragons cannot be fully included into Beasts.

Draconics are reptiles, usually loners until mating season. Covered in extremely durable scales, very often naturally enchanted with magic resistance. Armored in powerful, sharp, bird-like talons, very often venomous and poisonous.

High Dragons are creatures intelligent and fully self-aware, always holding inborn magic, using their own language and even having their own primitive society with hierarchy with Dragon King on top of it.

In terms of their intelligence it is enough to say, that sometimes they may communicate with other intelligent races (humans, dwarves, elves, demon et cetera) via telepathy or in extremely rare cases they may use their other languages.

There are numerous cases of high dragons “falling on love” with other races. This was also a foundation of creating a legends and fairy tales about dragons kidnapping princesses.

From mating of dragon and other races (such as humans, dwarves…) a woman would give a birth to a human (usually with higher magical predispositions), lay an egg (usually it ends with female death) or give a birth to a half-breed (extremely rare cases. Superior in strength, yet for unknown reasons often have troubles with controlling magical powers).

Dragons (stray) are usually aggressive creatures that would kill everything that enters his territory, while Dragons (high) are usually neutral and are ignoring every other race up until provoked.

Draconics, because of their diversity, cannot be ranked as one specimen.

For purposes of ranking their powers the following ranks were given

* Drakes – rank may vary on specimen. The “weakest” founded specimen was ranked as C. The strongest A (party).

* Wyverns - C (party) or B+ (weakest); A++ (party) (strongest)

* Wyrms – D (weakest); A- (party) (strongest)

* Amphipteres B+ (RAID) (only one specimen recorded)

* Dragons (Stray) – depending on age from D (party) (weakest – youngling)

* Dragons (High) – from A+ (party) up to Sigma (RAID) rank

Even as high Dragons shouldn’t be dealt by a person (human) alone, there was a case when a single human has killed a powerful High Dragon holding a Lord title. The man was the holder of most powerful human title – Jeremy Aloizi Jericho.

Raid (suggested number of adventures of the following rank should EXCEED 25 members)
